    I'd put myself higher that list, at least above Snooki. I'm not particularly fast but I can catch and hey, i'm in my (baseball) prime! As for Nieuwenhuis, He appears fine at CF right now, but he can sorta fake it by still being young and more nimble/quicker than most expect him to be in a couple of years. Part of it's also who the Mets project to have in the corners.

I still don't the Mets to sign him. Later yeah, you forgot Neutrons have weight too! (I'm not particularly sold on him being a worthwhile sign either, but if he wants to get plate of wings in April and maybe prove himself, doubt it'd hurt)

How does a baserunner interfere with a strikeout? batter interferred with the throw to first and the umps ruled that he would've been out I guess. "Matt Den Dekker (upper d?) out on batter interference."

Or at least, the same interesting but more willing to share my interestingness. Really, I think i'm just boring normally, but being drunk definitely has the edge over sober since beer is a passion. Just like how I'm more interesting at Citi Field than I am in the bagel store.

    Edgy DC wrote: This is no more true of Parnell than 95% of all other pitchers. Just because it's common and true of most other players/pitchers doesn't make it less true for Parnell either. But it still seems like a factor in them not making him a starter right now, which was what was asked.

    It's not really a bee in my bonnet, I just believe the Mets decided he wasn't a starter at least in part to that mid-season experiment. By the time Sandy got here I'm not sure taking a random reliever they'd had in that role and converting him to a starter was even ever a consideration. For an organization that was criticized, sometimes unfairly, for rushing guys to the majors, there does seem to be some evidence that they converted Parnell to a reliever in order to help out the 2009 pen. This is a guy who had finished more games in the minors that he started than that as a reliever. (prior to that point) He wasn't particularly successful starting, and he was only a 9th round pick, but as to MFS62's question about making him a starter again now that he's maybe commanded another pitch I think that failed experiment mid-season may have been perceived as the final straw. He wasn't really brought up too fast in order to help the club, he was showing he wasn't a starter and they felt relieving was where his value was.

    Edgy DC wrote: One of the most difficult ways? Two hundred and ninety five people a year become starters because they are relievers, doing OK, and a starter is needed. The process was more deliberate with him than most. Complaining about why he's not a starter now is an entirely new issue, but I don't think evidence shows that sample is the "main reason he won't ever be a starter." The evidence is they didn't even attempt to stretch him out in 2010 with a SP depth issue in Spring Training. I think pitchers get pigeon holed into roles too easily sometimes. He's a reliever because he relieved. He's not a closer because he "doesn't have the makeup" or whatnot. Frank Francisco IS a closer because he's done it before. You hear all these stupid arguments, just listen to Yankees fans/writers over the past couple of years with the Hughes/Joba stuff.

What's the over/under on a July 4th complete effing meltdown for this guy? Reyes played in Miami last night, so I imagine they/he just didn't want to deal with getting up early? Or he wasn't ready to face the demons. No audio for this game, sucks.

C.J. last pitched in the bigs in 2005. I guess that would have made him eligible for the Hall of Fame Ballot this last year, but he's spent most of the last five years pitching in Japan and then Korea. in 5.2 IP he's never allowed a run as a Met. why would he want to ruin that?

    Had no idea that there were so many logical fallacies. I'd like to try and see how many Klapisch could work into one column. My current favorite: Kettle logic. Affirming the consequent � the antecedent in an indicative conditional is claimed to be true because the consequent is true; if A, then B; B, therefore A.[6] Aaaah, flashbacks of 8th grade math! (actually I did good with that stuff) I have a feeling many of these 'reporters' use Twitter as a means to support just about any argument. I'm sure you could find one tweet somewhere annoyed about the 'copter ride. Much like rule 34 (if it exists, there is porn of it) I think you could say For all arguments, there exists a tweet in support of it.

I'm certain that move wasn't Manuel's pet project at all, out of boredom or otherwise, but rather arose as a worthwhile initiative from the consensus of the braintrust. I also think it was certainly defensible even in the light of its subsequent lack of success. exaggeration. But it was certainly one of the most difficult ways to actually succeed and perhaps was unfair to him. They'd already put him on the roster instead of the minors to refine his secondary stuff and now they're going to try to have him put it all together, at the major league level after most of a season of bullpen work needed to ramp up his arm strength and effort?

    metirish wrote: I would agree with calling him "filler" if he wasn't the starting CF and there was someone of youth coming mid-season. Well, there is! he's filling the roll of starting CF for roughly as long as Nieuwenhuis takes to confirm that he's outgrown with AAA, as the Mets front office has hinted that he has. Barring Torres needing a hip replacement, what I find most interesting is if they'll slide Torres into a super-sub 4th OF type guy for Nieuwenhuis even if he's doing alright. As Edgy said, are they leaving an opening in the ranks for him to push through, or waiting for someone to fall?

    They missed a golden opportunity to market it as The Ruth and Gehrig barnstorming Yankees and feed fans stories about the days when Ruth and Gehrig wandered around NY playing games. Because that'd be cool.
